EXAMINE YOURSELF.

When q man reaches the conclu-
sion that every body else in the world
is all wrong in life and spirit, it is
generally time for him to begin to
ask whether the trouble may not be
with himself If all the images in a
mirror are distorted it is pretty safe
to infer that the distortion is in the
glass itself, rather than in the world
which it reflects. Nobody ever knew
a mean man who was firmly convin-
ced that the majority of people were
thoroughly given over to meanness (;
and an envious, or an intolerant, or
q grasping man, who did not find his
own Characteristic sin to be cffen-
sively prominent in others, would be
a greater curiosity than an honest
gas company. If the world appears
all blue to you, be sure you are look
ing through blue glasses, before you
make so much noise about it. And
if YOU find all men to be self-seekers
and ambitious and avaricious, first
see whether you have not been pro.
iecting the evil which belongs to
yourself upon the lives of the men
you meet. There can be no doubt
that the world would be vastly
better world to youi YOU were your
self vastly better man.

New Hints on House Cleaning.

From several years of observation
of the different methods employed by
women in their annual house clean
ing, we are convinced that nost of
them make themselves great deal of
unnecessary hard work when putting
their blouse in order." The usual
way is, to go at it as if the fate o6 the
nation depended on having it done at
a certain time taking it leisure-
ly," is something they do not Seem
to think Of Moving is always
dreaded by the men-foIks, and house
cleaning, as a general thing, is about
as bad. We know one woman who
has. completely reyolutionized the old
system. She begins with the closets.
She empties one at time, clean
it and its contents, returns them to
it, and goes on to the next, never
hurrying the work, and consequently
never making herself sick by overdo-
ing, rs SO many woman do every
spring. When the closets are in
"apple-pie order" she begins with
the ROOMS, taking those up stairs
first, one at time, and working her
way down to the cellar There is no
hustle, no confusion, ''picked-up''
meals, and consequently, no out
breaks Of wrath on the part of the
men folke, who would not know that
house cleaning WIS going on if they
were not asked to help move heavy
furniture out of one room into ahoth
err now and then, and carry out the
carpets, or bring them in after they
had been beaten and aired. When
| the house is cleaned in this leisurely
fashion, it is easy to get the men to
| help put up shades and curtains, be
cause they do not get "out OF sorts
from the general topsy-turvy condi-
ton of things. When the work is
completed, the woman of the house
is not ''all used up" She may be
tired-without doubt she is--but she
soon ''rests up" and is call right
again." while in many cases the wo-
man who cleans house in the old
fashion, pays for her over-zealous
ambition by sickness brought on by
'going SLOW" and working accord
ing to her strength.-Amer. Agrj-

He had been out for days fish

contents of his basket to his wife,

Walker, the great American Black
stone, in abiding to this crisis be-

may find alarming indications of the

Wonder" died Monday at his home here.

moment he woke he started walking.
He made tour of museums recently,
